Some professional development I've attended:

Experience the power of game design and technology in the classroom with hands-on activities using CS First and Mario Maker 2. Discover new ways to engage students in critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills using these cutting-edge tools.

Whether 1v1 (solo/teams) or Free-For-All, a critical part of managing an esports tournament is the Standings & Bracket, we will dive into Challonge to create a simple tournament bracket system that anyone can view online. We will explore two examples: 1v1 teams (i.e., 2v2 or 3v3) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Free-For-All (i.e., 1v1v1v1) in Mario Kart 8.

From design to final product, students can use Chromebooks in the classroom to 3D print. how to start designing from a Chromebook and finalizing on a 3D printer without a second computer.

Engage students with 3D printing tools specifically curated to be used with a Chromebook.

We will explore different tools students can use to create 3D models and print using a Chrome OS.

Educators, get your projects funded by your community. Administrators, see why DonorsChoose is a good thing for your schools.

Teachers, get your protects funded by your community. Administrators, see why DonorsChoose is a good thing for your schools.

For Elementary Math: Use G Suite tool for digital manipulative and have students become prodigies in an adventure (game) to learn math.

See why Flipgrid and similar tools helped students perform better in TELPAS. This year the Speaking portion was different. Those students with Flipgrid experience knew what to do.

In the session Teachers, Librarians, Guidance Counselors, or School Nurses will learn how to obtain funds for events and school projects via DonorsChoose.org.

We'll cover some useful tools for classroom engagement.

Gaming in the classroom can be fun and educational. Come learn about a few games you can play, from board games to Kahoot!

Gamify your teaching and reviews with Kahoot. "Clickers" is an expensive technology. But thumbs up or dry erase boards do not provide the anonymity and real time data analysis of objectives met. Plickers is the solution to assess students through multiple choice questions without the need for student devices. This will provide immediate information to be able to differentiate instruction.
